Hello,
I am facing the infamous error:
"A table-cell is spanning more rows than available in its parent
element."
When trying to convert DocBook to PDF using FOP.
It is a big document with many tables, and looking for the culprit
is tedious.
That would make it an illegal CALS table - according to the OASIS CALS specs.
Has anyone faced this issue, and found a way to detect the issue?
A "simple" XPath would do I guess?
I've created some schematron and done a blog post on CALS validity:
http://code.google.com/p/cals-table-schematron/
http://blogs.deltaxml.com/2013/08/08/cals-table-validity/
(I do have an update I want to get some time to work on - I want to try out David Carlisle's suggestion to address the phases/progressive-validation issue - which is more of a schematron issue)
Cheers,
Nigel
